Although the presenter hasn’t divulged much about her break-up, surely she has been having a natter with her fellow panellists, right? Despite presumptions, Linda. who is on the Loose Women panel today (September 6), insists she is staying well clear of any divorce drama!

She added: “We’re staying out of it because it’s not our business but we’re supporting her in any way we can and just keeping her happy. It’s sad for the both of them but just keeping her spirits high.”

It seems both Camp Ruth and Camp Eamonn are staying quiet about the split. In fact, the statement issued by their reps to announce their separation was short and simple. Representatives said at the time: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”
